AVON 39 IS THE WALK TO END BREAST CANCER

AVON 39 is a challenge. AVON 39 is an attitude. AVON 39 is a weekend like you’ve never had before. On the road to 39, no matter how far you walk, you’ll crush fear, doubt and breast cancer – one persistent step and donation at a time.

Xilin Association, as a 12-year recipient of Avon grants, participated at the Avon 39 event from the beginning to the end. It was a fantastic experience. Xilin’s team worked on the weekend before the walk to pass out flyers in the neighborhoods along the route. It was cold, windy, and wet, but the team worked hard and had a great timeengaging the community to encourage them to join the event. On June 5th, Xilin’s team volunteered at the event registration at the Westin Hotel. On June 7th, Xilin represented 7 grass–roots organizations in the Midwest by accepting grants at the closing ceremony.

By stepping up to the AVON 39 challenge, you’re helping breast cancer patients in your community and across the nation. Net funds raised will directly benefit the Chicago and the Midwest area and help make sure that care programs nationwide, as well as national research programs, have the resources to make the most progress possible to help obliterate breast cancer.
